OUR OTT AVVA LETTER 0â€"â€" THE REDISTRIBUTION BILL. Sir Charles Tupper Scored by Premier Laurierâ€" 'ihe Baronet's Language Unv. c. thy Even or billingsgate. The longr expeaed and eagerly an- tic.pe.ted Redistribution Bill Was in- ttoduced. in the house of commons on Friday afternoon by the I’r.m~e. Minâ€" ister, and it was found when. the de- tails were disclosed, that. the goVern- ment had literally carried out the unâ€" dertaking preViously given, for ill-Ills changes proposed county boundai 3 lines have been rigidly adhered to. and where the numoer ot the electorate in any city or county neCCSEtQLl/M its (llV'lSlOD. into two or more ritbngs such division is placed in the hands of a commission of Judges whose duty it will be to make an impartial and equitable adjustment thereof. The bill deals with Ontario principally for the sun- ple reason that the inJusticc and in- oqualities of the past have principally affected th.s province, though two or three of the more glaring inequalities in the provincel of Quebec will also be Notified. Not a General Revision. Recognizing the broad principle that, in the ordinary course of events, a redistribution bill should only be ne- (essary after each. decennial census â€" n prmciple which will be urged by the oppcs.tion as their chief criticism of the bill and one which theoretically the government does not dispute,â€"uo general plan of redistribution has been attempted, nor has such been contem- plated at any time. Had It not been for the notorious gerrymandering “l1;('ll characterized the acts of 18oz! and 189.5, there: would have been no thou; ht or revising the electorate roundaries at this time. Of the On- tario counties 2.3 remain undisturbed, while municipal lines are restored in 19 count.es and three cities. The. total membershgi of the. house will remain unchanged, for while Bothwell, Cardâ€" well and West Ontario, will cease to ex- ist as Federal constituencies, and Mid- oiesex will have three members instead of four, the county of Iient will re- ceive two additional members and. new constituencies will be created in Dufo ierin and Parry Sound. As stated above, the. only, changes in Quebec will be the readjustment of municipal boundaries in some half doz- en constituencies. The same principle isapplied also in Prince Edward Island, and in the province of New Brunswick this city and county of St. ,John will be divided and each given a member in- stead of continuing in the mixed up condition they are in at. present. Unworthy of. Billingsgate. It is not to be expected, that. an act. which had for its purpose the destruc- tion of the unfair advantages by which the cmtservatives had benefittcd In the last three or four general elections would escape severe. criticism from: the oppt‘sition benches, but few were ready for the wild, vituperative and aImOSt incoherent onslaught which Sir Charles Tupper made upon the bill, the gov- crumr-nt, and all its works. That. this is not too sen-re a criticism, may be Judged from the stinging retort which the speech drew from Sir Wilfrid Laur- icr. for whether speaking of friend’ or foe, supporter or opponent, the l‘rem- ier holds the highest reputation for courtliness and consideration “Mr. Speaker.“ s~iid Sir Wilfrid, “the hon. gentleman (SJ Charles Tuppvr) has just. told us that- he is shocked and horrified at my conduct on this ocuision. [ tell ILm. very solemnly that. I am not shocked nor horrified. at anything he says. scandalous as it. was. :is it :in.iy is. The hon. gentleman has given pro-3f more than once this season that her is no longer able to discuss. that; he is only able to abuse, and to use language. so scurrilous as to be unworthy even .of Billingsgate," and when, a moment later. Sir Charles Tapper Ventured to interrupt the Premier with a denial of a statement he. had just made, Sir \Vilfrid answered: “I am accustomed, to that. Whenever a charge is brought . against the hon. gentleman We hear: from him that there- is not a word. of ’ truth in it. ‘We liaVe won bye-elections i by corruption and the lavish use of money, private and public. Sir, there I have been more than thirty bye-elec-E tions won by the liberal got/eminent; Since the general election in 1896. These hon. gentlemen opposite tell us to-dayl when there is no responsibility behind their words. thht we have obtained these victories by the lavish use of money, private and public. How is it I that they have not the. courage to bring a single case before the courts? Not. a single election has been contestedl They have had their opportunities to; prove their charges. The courts were-I open to them to establish their allega- tions that we have used money wrong- fully in the bye-elections. but in this, I as in all other‘ matters they have fail- I ed to act.” A Misfit Criticism. One criticism that Sir Charles Tlupper offered on the Redistribution Bill does not appear to hang very well together. Having expressed his conviction that the bill had been introduced because the government was afraid to go back to the country under. the old condition he proceeded to repeat the old story that they had won the last election by the “Janusâ€"faced policy” of prom- ising coercion in Manitoba to Quebec, and no coercion to Ontario. Subse- quently a straight policy of no coer- cion was that followed by the govern- ment; and therefore. according to Sir Charles Tupper’s own statement. faith was kept with Ontario and broken with Quebec. But the Redistribution. Bill leaves Quebec practically undisturbed. while it ' the constituencies in Ontario. .There appears to be some- thim a little'out of plumb somewhere in the argument. ' - Mr. J. Ross Robertson Wants It Enforced in Canada. The Premier Speaks Again-t Hasty Action as UnwiIe-The ”on Not Heard Fromâ€"Mr. Blair: Points Out the Necessity for Being Just to Both Sides-Ministerial Responsibil i ty. Ottawa. June 1,â€"The Grand Trunk strike again formed the subject of de- bate In the House, and the question of the enforcement of the alien labor law was also introduced into the discussion. Mr. John Ross Robertson brought the matter up, and blamed the Government for not enforcing the alien labor law. The Premier suggested that if Mr. - Robertson had not been too nnxfous to make political capital at the expense of the Government he would have taken the pvt-caution to see whether any demand or complaint; had been made by the men who are on strike. As it. matter of fact down to the hour at which he spoke, Sir Wilfrid said. no demand had to his knowledge been made by the men who are on strike upon the Government to on- t‘orno the alien labor law. He deprecated the inflammatory language which bud lit-en used by the member for East ‘I‘oionto, and counseled patience until li livll sides were heard. Later in the day Sir Charles 'l‘uppct- moved a resolution placing upon record the opinion of the House respecting the. responsibility of Ministers. which was accepted by the Premier. who found in its condemnation of the action of Sir Hibbert ‘l‘upper in refcrence to the Yukon charges and a justification of the course which the Government has taken upon that and other questions. In supply several items were piste-ed and the House adjourned at 2.18. M r. Blair. in answer to Mr. Bergeron. said that no companies In the United States are. making cars for the Inter- colouial Railway. Sir Loni: Davies. in reply to Mr. Mc- Dougull, said that. the new regulations rc<p9ctlllg the lobster fishery would not be put in force in such a manner as to affect this year‘s fishing. Allen Labor Law. Mr. John Boas Robertson asked whether the Government intended to enforce the alien labor law as regards the Importation of aliens from the Unitcd States to take the place of strikers on the G.T.R. He then read Inspector Dt-Barry’s statement telegraph- ed in the afternoon from Buffalo. Mr. Robertson. continuing. said that this showed that the understanding which the First Mlnisrer spoke of yesterday as having been made a: Washington for the suspension of the alien labor law on both sidcs of the line. was not being act-id up to on the Amerlcnn side. He thought the Govermnont should take some steps to prevent ~tlie Grand Trunk Railway from importing foreigners and aliens. Sir Wilfi‘ldLaurIer regretted that the member for East Toronto had used in- reiiipernte language while. the strike was going on, and was afraid his hon. friend was looking for party advantage more than the interests of the strikers. He (it-procured a discussion of the question without the side of the Grand Trunk having been heard. and said that while one’s sympathy was naturally diverted towards the strikers, it was only fair that the other side should be heard before judgment was ~ rendered. He thought before blaming the Government the hon. gentleman ought to have ascertained whether the men had made any applica- tion to the Government to put the alien law in force. and said that up to this attornoon no such application had been inside. With regard to the law itself, be repeated what. he had mid the day before, that an agreement had been come to by the commissioners. and he believed that the law had been generally suspended in the United States. although there but] been some exceptions like Mr. lleliarry at Buffalo. Sir Charles Tripper defended Mr. Robertson, and said that he had only done justice to himself and constimil-tirs. Mr. Taylor in his remarks said he would hold the Government responsible if there \vcru nccitlcntn‘. He thought tlir Grand Trunk should be asked to report if the lives of passengers Were safe. Mr. Blair “rent on to say the Govern» ment did not require to be dragged on to do their duty by gentlemen on other side. It might fairly and reasonably be taken for granted, if there were any way in which they could be satisfied they could effectively interfere in that matter. that they would only be too anxious to do it. He had not received any appeal from the Grand Trunk men to interfere, and he did not know it. Would be possible for him to Interfere at the present juncture, except he could proceed In a friendly way to say to those people: “You ought to bring this controversy to u. friendly and mnicahle end." In concludinu. he protested against members making poli- tical capital out: of such ii. question. The til-bate was continued by Messrs Montague. Ives, McCIcary, A. '1’. Wood, Bertram. Craig. hit-Gregor, Ingram and Logan. the latter suggestil.g that the )Iillisver of Railways and Canals offer his services as mediator. Mr. Robertson‘s motion to adjourn was then withdrawn. The bill to iiiiicnd and consolidate the acts relating to the harbor commission of Quebec was read a third time and passed. The act respecting the inspection of I petroleum and naphtha passed through. committee. Sir Henri Joly’s bill to amend the Adulteration Act passed through com- niitte and was reported. Ministerial Responsibility. On the motion to go into committee of supply, Sir Charles Topper, after a few remarks, moved the following amend- ' merit: This House is of opinion that it Is re- quired by our Parliamentary system that every branch of the public service rhould be represented. directly or In- dlrm'tly. in the Houses of Parliament, and this House Is further of the opinion that the political heads who perform their duty are themselves sole-Iv respon- sible for every act of ildmlnlstnttlon. down to the minutcst details of official] routine. This House Is further of the opinion that the Ministers of the Crown, having entire control over the public (lepurb moms. are bound to assume responsi- bility for every official net. This House Is further of the opinion that Ministers of the Crown should not permit blame to be Imputed to any subordinate for the manner in which the business of the country is transacted. except only In cases of personal misconduct, for which the political heads have the remedy In their own hands. If Ministers and that the permanent officers of the depart- ment do not work well under them. then It is thelr duty to provide a remedy for this lnconvenlence; but the responsi- bility should not be divided; it should be Imposed upon those who are able to answer for themselves In the Houses of Parliament. Sir Wilfrid Laurier said he was both pleased and s to find that when his hon. friend the leader of the Opposi- tion had a really sound proposition to maketotheflouse he could do itina fewworda Behadnofaulttefindwith the proposition. but. 0111211139? $99.31” , 1 utility or adoption it man the oppon- tion intended to live up to it. He would not, however, oppose it. . . After a few remarks from Sir Hlbbert Topper, the motion was unanim- ously, and the House went into supply. After passing a few items. the House ad- journed at 12.18. - THE SENATE. Hon. David Mills Iii-Inge Down and Ex- plains His General Bill Relpectluc Loan Companies. Ottawa, June l.â€"In the Senate yester- day afternoon a number of bills from , the Commons were received and advanc- I ed a stage. after which Hon. David Mills introduced a bill respecting loan com-g the some as the bllléntrodncod last ses- . slon, and gives the Governor-in-Councll ooxver to Incorporate loan companies by letters tent on the application of five persons. "The bill provides that there must be a provisional board of directors. three of whom must be mentioned. It provides that a company may be formed by the amalgamation of one or more cor- porate companies in existence, and in all cases where sufficient capital has been subscribed the company shall organize and elect or appoint a permanent board of directors. 16 spa-cities the mode in which lcan companies may invest. giving them wide latitude, but providing that no one loan company shall Invest In stock of anotlici‘loan company.

This bill. be explained, was much ' There of the capital of the COll‘ipallli'S. had. he said. suggested since last session. in the bill, and the cd with by the legislation. He had alter- ed the bill in this connection. It was a proper thing to corporate loan companies, as they Were allied to the banks on the one hand. and to trade and commerce on the other. If the bill became law he thought is would lessen the necessity for individual acts of incorporation. Sir Mackenzie Bmvell asked If the pro- posed bill would when companies now in existence. or only those to be ineorpor- . and» Hon. David Mills said the bill would afl'ect companies incorporated under It, . and tho-e already In existence which: chose to come under its Operation. Sir Mackenzie Howell pointed out that Several loan companies took deposits. How Would that be aflectei by this act? Would the claims of depositors take prc- - fercnee? Hon. David Mills mid that the bill did not interfere with that. Sir Mackenzie Bowel] judged from what the Minister had said that It was provided in the bill for the amalgamation of several companies without their coming to Parliament. This he believed was a power claimed by the provinces. No doubt the Govurmncnt had considered the question well. The bill Was read a first. time. Hon. David Mills asked that the hill to amend the criminal codeâ€"Mr. Charl- ton's billâ€"be. allowed to stand, as he 03- pcctml to introduue a bill to cover that point. The two bills would be considered together. The howling divorce bill was read a third time. DOMINIO N FULLY RECOGNIZED.

In reply to a question put for Mr. Maclean, Hon. Mr. Blair said that the special mlluige tariff on hay, straw and grain at present enforced on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. had not been approved by order-in-couucll. as it was not neccsairy to do so. only maxi- mum tariffs being submitted for approval.

All a matter of fact. to construct a railwav from St. Rosalie to St. Lambert. 38 miles. would cost 81,500.000; to bulld another bridge acres! the St. Lawrence Would cost. say. 06.000.000.
